Due to the unforseen resignation of a member of the Question Writing Group, we urgently need at least 2 more (and up to 5) volunteers for the group. Members have to be board certified nephrologists for at least 2 years. I would urge you all to try and recruit either yourselves or experienced nephrologists from your department.

Writers are required to produce 10 questions a year and attend a 2 day meeting of the Group at the end of March in the UK. From my 4 years as a group member I can vouch for an enjoyable as well as stimulating experience.

In order to become a bona fide question writer, you have to participate in a practice workshop which takes place annually in the spring of each year at the Royal College of Physicians, London. This means that new volunteers will be required to attend the workshop in Spring 2020 in order to be eligible to write questions for 2021. Hence the urgency of the situation.

Please reply as soon as possible and no later than October 25th
